I can't tell if AI is good or bad. As an image generator, it is good. The origin of an idea in the human brain... formulation of a correct task for AI... this is also creativity and the result can be excellent. But what does this have to do with photography?
This is just another branch of fine visual art.
I consider it a fraud to pass off AI's work as a photo. Someone uses AI in their messages - great, just leave a note that it's AI and no problems.
